    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Here is the specific page on Delta Team Decals that has the bridgeplate kits, Bridgeplate (deltateamdecals.com) Note that this kit comes with enough numbers to fully restore a plate and is pretty reasonable for only $10 with free shipping.

    US Air Force lettering

    Amarillo is the font used on planes but does not seem to be used on ground vehicles.

    Problem identifying proper color?! 34052

    34052 is the flat color that was used on WWII Marine equipment. The semi-gloss 24052 was used on vehicles like those M37's. If you are having trouble finding good 34052, then you should be looking at either of the 2 major military vehicle paint vendors. Army Jeep Parts in PA and Rapco in TX...

    My M715 'rework' project

    Yes the joy of getting your fingers just right to get the nut started on the threads. It was even more complicated by trying to not trip over the tripod while filming or blocking everything with your back as you try and do a limbo to fit your hand and arms into the small space. Your story is...

    My M715 'rework' project

    Yes, on the stock setup, the power goes to the start switch on the trans hump. So that location works well and doesn't need a ton of cable to reach it. I also felt that pain when cutting into a perfectly good fender to add them to all my M715 and M725's. Here was a video from when I did the...

    My M715 'rework' project

    Looking like a great project. As for the hood, a hood from any the FSJ Jeep's (J-truck, Cherokee, and Wagoneers) will fit. You just need to add the holes for the hood tie downs and blackout light brackets. And depending on the year you may have to remove the front cross bar from the civilian...

    M715 door mirrors.

    Why, my post has some good information for someone down the road who is looking for those parts as to where they can find them.

    M715 door mirrors.

    It's all simple pieces, the arms and mounting brackets are the same as a M38a1, M38, ect... https://shop.midwestmilitary.com/product/mirror-arm/ And the mirror heads are the same as the M37 and M151 or any of the military vehicles that used the rectangle mirror heads. A quick search turned up...

    Hood numbers question

    Yes, 03G65068 would have been the proper hood number on an early to mid 1968 built M715 truck.

    Those holes in the tailgate are for the stock rear reflectors. They should be the same military standard ones in red that are on the rear sides of the bed corner.

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    The joy of being a tall guy, with my seat moved back 4", it is just the right height for me to not bang my elbow on it when driving. Getting in and out with the soft top frame mounted on the other hand leaves me with knots on top of my dome. I think that's one of the main reasons I run it...

    Operation: Gertrude. Kendelrios M715 restoration thread

    Yep I think the lollipop lights were more a fire dept,/ forestry thing as it was an easy way to add 12v turn signals to these trucks. And that spot on the fenders make it about the easiest place to put them and get to them, I imagine that's why when the military added the marker light to them...
